    School of Rugby Rankings – 28 May 2018

    SORThere weren’t a lot of movement in our rankings after Saturday’s matches.

    Our two top ranked teams, Paul Roos Gimnasium and Grey College, both had an off-weekend. Third placed, Paarl Gimnasium, had to work hard to beat Boland Landbou (15th) by 42-38 in an exciting match. Gimmies’ only defeat thus far has been against top ranked, Paul Roos Gimnasium.

    Glenwood kept their unbeaten record for 2018 and turned the tables on the Horseflies (Durban High School) by 55-12 in their annual clash. The Grasshoppers stays in fourth position.

    Transvalia of Vanderbijlpark managed to defeat Monument of Krugersdorp by 34-31 their first over Monnas since 1982. The team from Vanderbijlpark only defeat thus far has been in Middelburg against HTS Drostdy (14th).

    Garsfontein moved closer to move past Monnas after defeating Menlopark by 48-24 in their Virsekerbeker clash. Garsies have a off-weekend, while Monument will take on Nelspruit this Saturday. Next weekend Garsies en Monnas will take each other on in a clash which could see Garsies move past Monnas or the latter cementing their place above the team from Pretoria.

    St Andrew’s College of Grahamstown suffered their first defeat in 22 games after going down by 17-36 against Selborne College. Saints have another tough encounter against Grey High School waiting this weekend on them.

    Please note that we don’t take matches against international opposition into consideration in our rankings. These games will however still be recorded and shown in our results. This rankings is not an official ranking as there is no official ranking on schoolboy level and this is only to get the discussion on school rugby on South Africa flowing. We however take our responsibilty on reporting school rugby very seriously.

  • Transvalia maak geskiedenis teen Monnas

    Transvalia maak geskiedenis teen Monnas

    NewsGEldoraigne1Dit was ‘n naweek vol groot tellings en ook ‘n paar geskiedkundige seges.

    Transvalia van Vanderbijlpark het geskiedenis op sy tuisveld gemaak deur vir die eerste keer ooit daarin te slaag om Monument van Krugersdorp te verslaan.

    Transvalia was met 34-31 in die Virsekerbeker-wedstryd baas. Die twee spanne het vroeër vanjaar met 31-elk gelykop in die Tuks-reeks gespeel.

    Dit was veral Valia se losskakel, Zian de Jager, wat weer uitstaande vir sy span was. Hy het ‘n belangrike skepdoel oorgeklits wat op die ou einde waarskynlik die verskil tussen die twee spanne was. 

    Sy skool en die Valke se Cravenweek-keurders sal hulle asems ophou want De Jager ‘n hakskeenbesering in die wedstryd opgedoen. Voorlangs verdien die agtsteman, Boland Burger, en slot Marlo Swanepoel ‘n klop op die skouer.  

    Garsfontein het sy oorheersing oor Menlopark op eerstespanvlak sedert 2014 met ‘n oorwinning van 48-24 voortgesit. Die wedstryd kon ook as ‘n ekstra Cravenweek-proefwedstryd vir die Blou Bulle gedien het. Sewe van Garsies se spelers asook vyf van Menlopark se spelers in in die pylvak om die Ligbloues se uitsoekspan te haal.

    Die Turkoois Bere se flank Johandré Buitendag en kaptein en slot, Jordan van Dyk, het voorlangs Menlopark se aanslag afgeweer. Agterlangs van die SA Skole-senter, Diego Appollis, weer op sy stukke.

    EG Jansen van Boksburg se eerstespan het weer sy vuur terug. Hy het HTS Middelburg se Rooi Bulle met 95-32 kafgedraf. Die wedstryd het 127 opgelwer, waarvan die Jansies se losskakel, Aurelio Philander, 30 punte met sy skopskoen aangeteken het.

    Ben Vorster van Tzaneen gaan nie maklik vanjaar op sy tuisveld omgedop word nie. Die span het gister op sy tuisveld vir Hugenote van Springs met 102-3 verniel. Die span se vleuel Shima Molepo en buitesenter, Christiaan Smit, het elk vier keer die doellyn oorgesteek. Die heelagter, Jason Mulder, en vleuel Melvin Maake het elk ook driekunste aan drieë behaal. 

    Oakdale Landbou was met 42-35 in ‘n wipplank-wedstryd oor die Hoërskool Outeniqua op sy tuisveld net buite Riversdal baas.

    Niemand was beter vir die Bulle van Oakdale as sy kaptein en slot, Hannes Gous, nie. Hy het sy lyf op die spel geplaas en elke keer oor die voordeellyn gebeur wanneer hy die leerbal onder die arm vasgeknyp het.

    Die heelagter, Clyde Lewis, is met ‘n geelkaart koelkas toe, maar het verged daarvoor toe hy ‘n mooi drie kort na sy terugkeer gaan druk het. Vir die Kwaggas het sy buitesenter, Darren Fortuin, gewys hoekom hy so hoog aangeslaan word.

    In ‘n klipharde wedstryd in die Paarl moes Paarl Gimnasium bloed sweet om Boland Landbou met 42-38 te troef. Daar was nie veel te kies tussen die twee spanne nie. Vir Gimmies was sys enter Dawid Kellerman en flank Pierich Siebert goed.

    Framesby beskik duidelik vanjaar oor ‘n gedugte span. Hy het Marlow Landbou se Wolramme met 27-16 met die kous oor die kop huis toe gestuur.

    Glenwood het die bordjies met 55-12 teen Durban High School in hulle jaarlikse interskole verhang. Die Grasshoppers se agterlyn moet onder die voorstes in die land tel.

    Die losskakel, Dylan Pretorius, het saam met die twee senters, Rynhardt Jonker en Conan le Fleur, heeltemal te veel vrae gehad vir Durban High School om te antwoord.

    Glenwood spog steeds met ‘n onoorwonne rekord vanjaar.

    Die Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool van Pretoria het sy sege van 45-41 oor Jeppe High School te danke aan sy eie Shermanator behaal.

    Die span se vleuel, Eric Sherman, het in die laaste beweging die wendrie gaan druk. Jeppe se skrumskakel, Kabelo Mokhethi, het met slegs twee minute se spel oor gaan druk om aan sy span die voorsprong met 41-38 gegee. Sherman se vreugde sal wel ietwat gedemp wees na hy ‘n rooikaart gekry het van die skeidsregter, Pro Legoete, vir sy taalgebruik na sy drie.

    Potchefstroom Volkskool het sy grootste oorwinning nog oor Potchefstroom Gimnasium met 50-10 in hulle jaarlikse Classic Clash behaal. Die span se agtsteman, Jacques Gouws, was uitstaande en het drie keer Gimmies se doellyn oorgesteek.

    In Sasolburg het die Spanners (HTS Sasolburg) die Kapoenners (Hoerskool Sasolburg) met 15-13 in hulle jaarlikse Classic Clash vasgedraai.

    In die Noord-Vrystaat het Welkom Gimnasium weer vlam gevat en Witteberg van Bethlehem met 77-12 gekarnuffel. Voortrekker van Bethlehem het in die Sentrale-reeks vir Diamantveld sy eerste nederlaag van die kompetisie met 39-26 toegedien.

    In die Oos-Vrystaat se eindstryd sal Reitz en Ficksburg sake uitspook. Reitz het sy halfeindstryd teen Paul Erasmus van Senekal met 71-7 verniel. Ficksburg het sy plek in die eindstryd met ‘n sege van 24-12 Harrismith bespreek.

    School of Rugby Rankings – 21 May 2018

    Rugby FB iconWe have a new number one this week!

    Paul Roos Gimnasium of Stellenbosch just moved in front of Grey College after their record victory over Paarl Boys’ High (44-8) this Saturday at Markotter in Stellenbosch. Grey College is also still unbeaten after coming out on top by 39-28 over Affies in Pretoria on the weekend.

    The clash between Paul Roos and Grey College on the 18th of August in Bloemfontein will be a titanic clash. Monument of Krugersdorp dropped another spot on our rankings after suffering a 49-22 defeat against Glenwood. This was Monnas’ second defeat in a row at the Ras van Rooyen.

    Glenwood is still unbeaten and their unbeaten status will only be tested when they meet Grey College later this year. Hilton College and St Andrew’s College of Grahamstown also boasts unbeaten records thus far in 2018. St Andrew’s College extended their unbeaten run to 21 games on the trot. If they could manage to keep their unbeaten record for the next two weeks they will be contenders for a place in out Top 10. They will face Selborne College (12th) and Grey High School (18th) in their next two matches.

    Please note that we don’t take matches against international opposition into consideration in our rankings. These games will however still be recorded and shown in our results. This rankings is not an official ranking as there is no official ranking on schoolboy level and this is only to get the discussion on school rugby on South Africa flowing. We however take our responsibilty on reporting school rugby very seriously.
